2015 Toyota Sequoia
In the past, you can choose from two various V-8 engines for the Sequoia, but Toyota lately ceased the smaller-displacement (4.6-liter) selection. It's actually right, as a lot of Sequoia consumers are towing-minded (tow ratings vary approximately 7,400 extra pounds). With 381 horse power as well as 401 pound-feet of torque, the remaining V-8 is a powerhouse. However missing out on from the Sequoia's factory alternatives listing is any kind of major off-road hardware, or a committed off-road model, though 4WD is commonly available with the model line. All of it makes good sense when you see the much costlier Toyota Land Cruiser throughout the lot.

But while the Sequoia could share supports with the Expanse pickup, it flights and also manages rather better. A four-wheel independent suspension assists maintain the Sequoia stable via edges generally, although rough spots-- whether sidewalk patches or gravel-road rippeds-- can distress its composure. Trip quality benefits a body-on-frame vehicle, thanks to the independent rear suspension-- with the trip even an action a lot more composed with the active variable air suspension (AVS) system in the Platinum version. Road as well as wind sound feel fairly well sealed-away, also.
Utilizing the the Tundra pickup's tough layout, lugging procedure, and macho look for an utility vehicle gives the Sequoia a testosterone-tinged look that could show up cartoonishly musclebound to some. If nothing else, it defeats the confidential designing of most minivans-- and no crossover could ever before intend to match its tall and truck-based front end.
The cabin appointments of the Sequoia, predictably, seem like those of a high-end full-size pickup in front, with 2 more rows of spacious wagon implanted on behind. That suggests a control panel that's useful without looking as well plain. For seating, you could define twin captain's chairs to change a second-row bench, though it decreases the capability to seven. Both the second- as well as third-row seatbacks can be folded forward to a level cargo floor, with the 2nd row split in 3 sections (40/20/40) as well as the 3rd row in two (60/40). Storage space is sufficient once the third-row seats are folded up in place, which is made easy thanks to a power-folding choice.
From base as well as SR5 models, to the mid-level Minimal trim, and also as much as the luxury-packed Platinum, the Sequoia covers more than $20k, running from the mid-$ 40,000 range approximately the mid-$ 60,000 array. That's prior to adding any one of the numerous main dealer-installed devices. At the top of the lineup is the Sequoia Platinum, which adds Dynamic Laser Cruiser Control, a DVD touch-screen navigating system, as well as a brand-new Blu-Ray back entertainment system with a 9-inch LCD display as well as two collections of wireless headphones. A 12-way flexible power chauffeur's seat, heated second-row seats, as well as the load-leveling air suspension with 3 driver-selectable modes are also all consisted of.
Criterion on the Platinum grade and also readily available on SR5 and also Restricted is a brand-new Entune multimedia system that gives access to apps for Bing search, Pandora, as well as others, providing access to entertainment or information with your smart device's data connection.
Functions
Between its base version as well as the best-equipped one, the 2015 Sequoia could add as much as $20,000 in options to the cost.
Also the base SR5 comes well geared up, which features automated tri-zone cooling, an eight-speaker stereo, a towing package, an eight-way power driver's seat, as well as a leather-trimmed steering wheel with sound as well as climate controls.
On the Limited you obtain a devices set that opponents lots of luxury cars, with parking sensors, a power back liftgate, a power folding third-row seat, and also 20-inch alloy wheels, all consisted of, as well as JBL Synthesis sound and Bluetooth audio streaming. And also the rearview mirror has a built-in back-up monitor (without having to add the navigation system); a map light, auto-dimming function, and compass are built right into it, also.
On top of the lineup is the Sequoia Platinum, which includes Dynamic Laser Cruiser Control, a DVD touch-screen navigation system, as well as a brand-new Blu-Ray back home entertainment system with a 9-inch LCD display and 2 collections of wireless earphones. A 12-way adjustable power vehicle driver's seat, warmed second-row seats, as well as the load-leveling air suspension with 3 driver-selectable settings are likewise all consisted of.
Criterion on the Platinum grade as well as available on SR5 as well as Minimal is an Entune-equipped multimedia system that gives accessibility to applications for Bing search, Pandora, and also others, supplying accessibility to amusement or info through your smartphone's information link.
Even at the top of the array there are several dealer- or port-installed upgrades-- consisting of instances like remote engine beginning, upgraded TRD brakes, as well as a front skid plate. We would certainly note the Sequoia is missing out on most various other off-road upgrades (look to the Land Cruiser to see why).
